The Face of Climate Change

The Face of Climate Change campaign seeks to harness the power of Earth Day to personalize the massive challenge that climate change presents, while uniting people around the globe into a powerful call to action. Earth Day Network is collecting images of people, animals, and places affected by climate change, as well as images of people doing their part in the fight against climate change. An interactive digital display of all the images will be shown at thousands of events around the world — from schools to parks to government buildings — on and around Earth Day.

We know you are already acting around climate change, so this year our Earth Day message is simple. Take some pictures. Share them. The goal is 10,000 faces from around the world.
